Wishful Thinking {guest post by Daydream Living}

They say a dream is a wish from the
heart...

My heart wished for different things at different times
in my life.

When I was younger, the wishes where about getting the
newest jeans or my drivers license. Later they where filled with images of a healthy and
happy family. In between there where many other wishes and
daydreams.

And guess what? Almost every single wish has come true.
Only the one where I can sing like a bird never made
it....{my singing will clear out a room
before you can say...... well, you can fill in the blank}.

I have worn my jeans over and over, and I did a little
happy dance when I passed my drivers test. Everyday, I am grateful to be the mama of my two girls
and the partner of my sweetheart, living a good
life. And although we are in a different country again, away
from our family and friends back home, I love our
lifestyle. Through our many moves, we have met so many people from different
backgrounds, and it has made our little foursome
stronger.

Life is for living, to enjoy the here and
now.

To me that includes my
daydreams...

About a life near the
sea....

Walking my girls to school in the morning
sun...

Spending time in my own business, doing what I
love...

Sipping a drink with my sweetheart on our front porch
while talking about our day....

Some people will say dreams should stay just
that. Dreams.

But if you don't have a dream, how can you have a dream
come true?

So to all my fellow dreamers out in the
world,

Dream...

Wish...

Love...

Maureen

Daydream Livingis a lifestyle blog authored by the very lovely Maureen. She and I discovered we have quite a bit in common including our affinity for daydreaming. It's nice to know that others are passionate about this incredibly important pastime too.

I share many of Maureen's daydream's...I would love to live closer to the ocean (I know I shouldn't complain about a 40 minute drive but, you know) and I would love to someday walk Emerson to school. Big dreams these days. Funny how those change over the years.

One of my favourite songs when I was a kid was David Cassidy's 'Daydreamer'. I remember walking along a desserted beach, singing it at the top of my lungs....'I'm just a daydreamer, walking in the rain, chasing after rainbows I may never find again.' I am totally with you on this post Maureen, it was beautiful, thankyou. Love Linda x
